A Brazilian capybara eating a banana, illustrated in François Froger’s “Relation du Voyage, fait en 1695, 1696 & 1697, aux Côtes d’Afrique,” etc. (Paris, 1699). Writes the French traveler: “She brought us… a Tyger-Cat, and another strange Animal, whom the Portugues call by the Name of Capivard: he has a body like a Hog, his Head is of the shape of an Hares… he has no Tail at all, but sits upon his Breech as an Ape does.”
